Green Mountain Grills

I like the app design and functions. My complaint is, if I forget that I can’t change the temp in the middle of running a profile, it clears out the profile that I was running. And after that happens, I can’t continue the profile where I left off, so I have to edit the profile to fit my immediate needs, then remember to change it back after I’m done. I suggest a change where I can touch a step, and the screen expands to show the full “notes” and I am also given the option to “begin profile from this step” or something like that. Or maybe a “temporary profile edit” that doesn’t save in the profile itself.

I keep getting kicked off server mode. Then I have to leave server, connect to wifi, connect to grill, then join server again. Works on and off. Did everything support said. Still disconnects. Brand new wifi board and Grill is 6 feet from wifi btw. App also seems unfinished. Cant turn it on from work so it's hot when I get home to immediately start grilling. Cant toggle between point to point mode and wifi mode. Can't see what newest firmware is without updating and downloading to grill. Takes a while. Should alert that I already have the latest version first. Profiles could be good and are definitely the best part of the wifi feature. ***Update*** I have been using this for a while now and, when home, works fine. None of the support suggestions work. Still disconnected on server mode when gone from home. WORSE YET, it does not background refresh. Only when I actually OPEN the app does it tell me that I have "reached target temp". This could take forever, really forever, if I don't actually open the app. Please fix. All permissions open for this app. It's a bug.

If that feels like it came from an old version of iOS. It lacks a lot of features you would expect in a modern day app. You should be able to search the recipes instead of having to visit each page. You should be allowed to swipe to go back. There should be a history of the meat temperatures when cooking. The app refreshes every time you open it which creates lag and it fails to deliver reliable information if the app is not open. You should be able to add multiple timers and stopwatches and give them names for different meats or other items that you’re grilling. You should be able to put the grill into Wi-Fi mode when it is on. The timer in a profile should be adjustable in case you forget to start it and want to run the profile for the remaining grill time. There are probably some other features that this app needs but that would be a good start.

My controller card on my Davy Crockett went bad, the replacement has the WiFi. I did not buy mine with it 3 years ago as the WiFi was just coming out and I thought I'd never use it. P-to-p worked right off but had issues with the home network. I work from home and my network is extremely locked down. I log a lot of attacks at the modem level and the firewall/router level. My problem was I forgot I used upper and lowercase character in my wireless network names. The GMG app needed it to match exactly and I wasn't putting it in correctly. Have not gotten the server mode to work yet, I need to punch a hole in the firewall to let it go out. Not sure what port they use but will do it if I really need it. Works great camping, beach, parks on the p-to-p.

I’ve had such a pleasurable experience with my Daniel Boone after the smoke box got replaced, which I must commend customer service for helping troubleshoot and that was a year ago. So we have purchased a 2nd Daniel Boone to house the pizza oven and they have both work perfectly. My only thing I’d like to see is the ability to edit the names of the grills. I’m not sure if the app crew realizes that when smoking for long periods of time there might be alcohol involved and later in the day it be safer to know for sure which grill your controlling. Just saying.
